Hayter w« learn that his " Noßologioat Index " is used in the statistical departments of all the Australian Colonies. We admit, and believing others will also admit, a doubt as to what it all means, we venture, after having recourse to a dictionary to give the explanation. " Nosologioal " means pertaining to nosology, or a systematic classification of diseases. How gracious even a Liberal Minister can be when he is in a good temper. Mr Beeves told the Taranakians that the trade in the Colony at the present time was not flourishing. After six months of steady denial of a fact Ministers are now partially admitting; it.

The aale was decidedly brisk, and showed there is still money in the place. The sale will be re* sumed this afternoon. Sooialum can find employment for those who want it ? That is Mr Beeves' idea of its working. What little Socialism our Minister of Labour has imported seems very deficient in this respect.

Mr Maxim has built a motor for his flying machine, which power for weight he claims to be the most powerful yet devised in the world. Its weight is 3001bs, and is 180 effective horae-power. The whole flying machine with water, fuel an<l men weighß only about 201b per horße power. Mr Beeves, though a Socialist, evidently understands all Socialists are not pleasant company, as he told hi* New Plymouth audience " that he was a Socialist, but not a robber," and " that he was not a Socialist of the hind who went about with bombs in their hands." "Evil communications, Ac." Mr Reeves, you had better take care or the day may soon come when you will take a bomb in your hand.

A £10 note was cleverly extracted from Mr J. Shand, of the Chatam Islands, by a confidence-trick man yesterday afternoon. Mr Shand was a passenger South by the s 3 Botorua, and just before the departure of the vessel he was standing on the wharf talking to Sir Robert Stout and the Hon. G. F.

Assuming that " Ford " was to be a fellow-passenger, Mr Shand handed over a £10 note which he had in bis pooket without any hesita* tion, and the stranger gave him in return a cheap silver watch, remarking, " Hold this till I come back."
